What you need to know about Safeco auto insurance

Provides most standard auto insurance options

Safeco provides most standard auto insurance policy options. Medical payments and property damage come standard, while things like collision and comprehensive coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and 24-hour roadside assistance are optional.

Potential issues with customer service

Once you’re set up with a policy, you can manage your policy online or via Safeco’s mobile app. Those options may add a level of convenience to your experience with the insurer.

Safeco earned an almost-average customer satisfaction rating in a 2022 J.D. Power survey, and was just slightly above average in terms of number of complaints for an insurer of its size in 2022, according to National Association of Insurance Commissioners data as of April 2023.
